same people who less than a fortnight ago were talking about “massive midterms” are now unaware there was an nyc mayoral election going on

Here's that thing again. You never hear that a sex offender has been arrested and it's a "white British national" (Ian Watkins) or "a white British national of Czech descent" (Ghislaine Maxwell). You only get these precisions if they're a non-white British national. Funny that. #EverydayRacism

what is “base ball” and why is everyone so mad at it

hope everyone is excited for the scariesssstttt time of year (national media spending two weeks going fucking mental about plastic poppies)

Hon hon hon joyeaux ween de hallo

Me with doomscrolling

oh shit guys the future predictor has logged on

does calling robert peston a stupid cunt mean i think robert peston is a stupid cunt? more on this discussion at 9pm on one of the uk’s most-watched tv channels

I say this to the void on here because I keep hearing parents at open days at university telling their children ai is the future and yeah, so was computer science and now look. Do the course you want, not the one the alleged rapist of his sister tells you is good, so that you can make erotica

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Americans need to reconcile that this is pretty much what the Obama-era drone strikes were. Any time a prior administration abused its power and it was greeted by a shrug because “we’re the good guys” - this is why you shouldn’t do that.

israeli police are khamas

If Keir starmer really wants to prove he’s not antisemitic he’ll riot with Maccabi Tel Aviv. Anything less he may as well be Hamas.

Lmao the holes line up

these people are the biggest fucking losers imaginable, oh my god lmao

the colombus day controversy says a lot about modern america, and i think a lot of nuance gets lost in the debate. overall, having thought deeply about each side of the debate, and why both sides are so entrenched, i just want to say “more like christopher colombutts”

David Frum was writing speeches for an Israeli ambassador at the same time that he wrote a profile about the same person as a “journalist”. Utterly lacking in principle, ethics, and shame. But what you can expect from someone like him. www.dropsitenews.com/p/david-frum...

Years of Lard

This is utterly heartbreaking. Too sad for words. A direct result of underfunding the NHS.

maybe just me but if i thought my roomba had feelings my first idea would not be “quick everyone! let’s force this sentient being to do literally all of our jobs but for free and forever”

Calling anti AI talk bigotry while you work for a company that summarily blocks Palestinians trying to survive a genocide is WILD

israel is a deeply, deeply sick country of sadists, torturers, and genocidaires that for the good of not just the world but also its own people probably needs to be completely destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up

maybe if all the trans people on here pretended to be ai then the bluesky moderation team would give a shit about their safety

explain your username i am a responsible homeowner

why do people need to repurpose racist slurs to use for ai? like, “robot” is already an epithet ffs, what are you doing

[after reading exactly one work email] i am going to go lie face down in the parking lot

could’ve been an email, reads like a twitter post, probably leaked on signal three days ago. god damn this guy fuckin suckkkkkkkssssss

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

80% seems like a remarkable advocation for this. If you could make an antidepressant drug that saved 80% of teen suicides and the answer for the other 20% was "Stop taking it" you'd be a monster to oppose it.

"Great, you made it over! Come and work in my restaurant. You can sleep in the room at the back. Free food. And maybe a little bit of pocket money too." "Sounds great." "But first, let's see your BritCard digital ID showing your right to work." "Foiled!"

my new political conspiracy theory is that johnson’s renovations damaged the boiler and everyone who’s been near no. 10 since is suffering from near-lethal carbon-monoxide poisoning

the right wing project in america for the past fifty years has been based on fury that nixon faced consequences from his “lessers” (liberals, the media, minorities, democratic lawmakers, basically anyone who wouldn’t enthusiastically support HUAC) and determination to never let it happen again

DECREE: if i ever get on some thing where im constantly going around and saying open manholes are a price we pay for living in a society with a sewer system, and that it would be good if we broadcast more people falling into manholes, then i fall into a manhole and die on a livestream? you can laugh

found the original

It cost $0 to repost my mspaint art 🎨

maybe bluesky does have the juice

Ezra went from we must fight them on the beaches to sure thing have the Sudetenland in one week. all it took was someone of his social class being murdered.

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

It’s fear, but also anger. they assumed everyone understood there shouldn’t be consequences for the stuff they say on camera! turns out, some people actually buy the kayfabe and for the pundit class that’s a) scary and b) like the rules of the game have suddenly been unilaterally changed

The intensity and duration of the Kirk circle jerk is a pretty clear temperature check on the ruling class. Normally they can process any amount of violence and cruelty within like 20 minutes, they only do this kind of full blown reality revisionism when they're completely scared for their lives

Guy who sells doo doo (squinting wisely and doing visionary voice): We believe within 10 years the world economy will be almost completely powered by doo doo

Need 600 dollars due to recent personal tragedy. Picture is not related, I cannot figure out how to delete it. The money is not for that. I don’t know what it is even

What I saw at Saturday’s rally was racism, pure and simple. Labour won’t tackle it until we can call it what it is | Diane Abbott

brings me absolutely no pleasure to say this but it is kinda bleakly funny how pretty much every move so far by Your Party has just made me more understanding of the “sociopath right” wing of the labour party while corbyn was leader lol

thank goodness that there is still beauty and love in the world no matter what fascists would have you believe

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves. The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

what we’ve seen from the right is the most insane case of cancel culture i’ve ever witnessed. the left has never even done close to a fraction of a fraction of what they want to do now
